Scovillain: Rarity & Collectibility
Scovillain in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #025/197 of the SV03: Obsidian Flames set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Scovillain?
In 2026, a Near Mint Scovillain (Rare, SV03: Obsidian Flames #025/197) changes hands at roughly $0.22, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $0.22, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $0.14. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.22, Lightly Played $0.18, Moderately Played $0.10, Heavily Played $0.14 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Scovillain is valued near $65.99 — about 300x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Scovillain: Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Scovillain sits around $65.99 — roughly 300x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $7.50 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
